If you're going to spend time thinking about other people's actions, maybe you should start with your own.
Ryan Holiday
Beautiful things of any kind are beautiful in themselves and sufficient to themselves.
Marcus Aurelius, The Meditations, p. 41
Everything here is for a purpose, from horses to vine shoots. What's surprising about that? Even the sun will tell you, "I have a purpose," and the other gods as well. And why were you born? For pleasure? See if that answer will stand up to questioning.
Marcus Aurelius, The Meditations, p. 104
Contemplating himself, he sees truth with absolute clearness and distinctness. He only blunders when asked to lose sight of himself.
Frederick Douglass, My Bondage and My Freedom, p. 303
Somewhere inside all of us, particularly women, lies a ruby of hope. It is faith that once we find the right skin product, or piece of real estate, or car, or lipstick or diet, we will, at last, feel good about ourselves. The void will fall away and we will feel complete.
Koren Zailckas, Smashed, p. 235
It is the fool's prerogative to utter truths that no one elsewill speak.
Neil Gaiman, fantasy author

I stand strong in times of trouble, stand tall in times of defeat, and stand smiling in times when I desire to retreat. -Rachel Carlson
Things I've Learned From PokeMon #10: You can't just growl and tail whip, you have to tackle too. -Alex Cannon
For now, at least, I continue to feast on the smorgasbord of life, sampling the many tastes I crave without having to choose just one. At least for now, I can continue to remain proudly Undecided. -Alex Cannon
Distinguishing between what we know and what we don't know may enable us to learn and find ways to accomplish our wildest dreams. -Erin Good
I realized I had grown up; I saw my little girl of the future, staring up at Tinkerbell, in her own glass slippers, and I felt the ruffle of change. -Erin Good
Somehow, our worlds once merged and later separated. We are destined to live apart, but the images still remain. Magically, the pixels intertwine to capture a beautiful piece of history. -Janna Moen
Although Minnesota was once my home, in its present state it is meaningless to me. Too much time has passed. Memories of this wonderful palce will always serve as an exiting destination in my mind, but a changed home is not one I will return to. -Janna Moen
Never before have I been interested in defying my stereotype. Never before have I had the fervor to push beyond my limits, limits I had set for myself, and reach a competence I was sure I had already reached. -Paige Gregory
I am beyond the first day of school. I am past the feelings of first day jitters, above riding the bus, finished with recess, and over 25-cent chocolate milk. My life has changed so rapidly I can hardly stop and see the big picture in front of me. - Melanie Flood
